Default What is it with some of these ARF's?

When I bought the Hanger 9 ARF Mustang, my Fuse was badly wrinkled near the tail. I hit the Fuse with the Heat Gun, the Ultra-Kote pulled from the frame, and the covering seperated from the other covering.

I bought another Fuse due to I didn't want to patch a new plane, and the second Fuse was perfect... I only had to heat it a little to get the wrinkles out.

Yesterday, I just got my PNP Cub from Hanger 9... and guess what? The same thing happened, this time I had to patch it under the elevator... and my rudder has wrinkles that don't want to come out, I'm afraid of over heating it if you all know what I mean.

What is going on... is it that these ARF's and PNP Planes are cheap with the covering? It seems that they don't have enough covering to overlap. Apply heat and it pulls apart.

Is it what I'm doing... or am I right? I have to buy more Cub decals for the rudder because I baked the Cub emblem on the tail. [:@]
